I won't be there. I have my ER clinical on the night of the 30th so I'd be up real late.

If I got the cash I will go.

Ok everyone this event is still a go..... please RSVP if you are going to go.

Again it is about a 2-3 hour drive up there on a wet/snowy/dry/twisty/high elevation roadway. Hopefully it will be a fun day. I know we could have used Mt Laguna but this is a little easier as far as equipment and such.

Thanks for coming if you decide to go.

weather seems to be clear that weekend but there's still plenty of snow. Plus that place has snow making machines going throughout the season. Should be a blast, especially for the kids. I'll know by this weekend if I/we are going.........

Well we had a good time. There was a hell of a crowd there with the rudest of the rudest people.......mainly the kids that were there. Anyway, I wiped out one time with my daughter riding on the same tube....she was completely rolled over as we rolled over. She got up saying "That is how it is done!".......the whole time she had a face full of snow and snow all over her.....It was funny.

Other than the crowdedness of it, it was a good day up there. The weather was actually warm. Kids had their Snowboard pants on and Under Armour Cold gear style stuff, with a zip up hoodie over that.....So the big thick jackets were not needed. Dry roads all the way, could have taken the Stangs.

McBullitt had a Stang parked beside him so I tagged it with a WickedStangs Tramp Stamp.....Hope they dont mind....J/K I did leave a card on the Stang though.

Thanks for coming out McBullitt and family, plus friend of "Mattew". Enjoyed the day.

glad you guys had a good time.. Let plan another one quick...

 

[Gibs]

Well I am going up the last weekend of Feb for the whole weekend to snowboard.....dropping 1K on the weekend. Getting the youngest 2 lessons and all that stuff. The 1K includes, lift tickets, rentals, lodging, lessons, and food...... I am figuring a little high though. Probably will be more like 800.

I ope they like it. If today was any idea as to whether the little ones will enjoy it or not....THEY WILL LOVE IT!

I am gone for the next couple weeks, so I cant really set it up.
